I found some recordings I made on tape between 1995 and 1996 (this is the date written on the tape). Unfortunately, the tape was very damaged and despite spending some time trying to restore it as much as possible, the results are not great, also because I didn't feel like working on it for a whole day, but since I have now digitized it, I will dedicate myself to it properly in the future, when I feel like it... But I am nonetheless happy to have been able to listen to what I was playing when I was 13 years old, also to highlight the interpretative choices that mature greatly along with age.

It seems you already had clear ideas! Congratulations.

I would change the reverb though; listening to unrestored Bach and restored Bach in succession, it seems to me that definition is lost with the processed file... but that is just my impression from listening quickly.

With respect.

certainly, keep in mind that I did the restoration in a hurry and using headphones, but I promise myself to fix them properly as seen when I have more time to dedicate to it. now Paolo and I are recording the CD with all the four-hand pieces.
